Landlord villages dominated Iranian land tenure for hundreds of
years, whereby one powerful landlord owned the village structures,
surrounding farmland, and to all intents and purposes, the village
occupants themselves, a system that in some cases remained in place
up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In Oman, mud-brick oases were
home to most of the rural population right up until Sultan Qaboos
came to power in 1970, and required inhabitants of mud-brick houses
to relocate into new concrete block buildings. Historical
Archaeology and Heritage in the Middle East explores these
everyday, rural communities in Iran and Oman in the 19th and 20th
centuries, through a combination of building analysis, excavation,
artefact analysis and ethnographic interviews. Drawing on the
results of original field projects, the book considers new ways of
exploring traditional lifeways, giving voice to hitherto largely
ignored sections of the population, and offers new and different
ways of thinking about how these people lived and what shaped their
lives and the impact of major political and social changes on them.
Place, memory and belonging are considered through the lens of
material culture within these villages. The first of its kind, the
book brings together methodologies, research questions, and themes
that have never been used or addressed in the Middle East. Helping
to establish historical archaeology in the Middle East and
providing new ways in which the memorable, quotidian past can be
exploited for its social and economic value in contemporary
community and heritage developments, it is an ideal resource for
students, scholars and practitioners of historical archaeology and
heritage of and in the Middle East.
